The Early Childhood Educators of Hydro Bright Lights have reaffirmed their vision of high quality education for young children through a shared understanding of relationships between children, families and educators in the context of the early years’ environment.
IMAGE OF THE CHILD
- Small capable human beings who are patient, curious, spontaneous, impulsive and creative
- Brave, courageous and independent people who are natural researchers of knowledge and are not afraid of risk
- Emotional beings who are affectionate and nurturing, and brutally honest and yet show empathy to others while making choices about relationships in a bias free, non-judgemental way
- Determined and active individuals who remember and model peer and adult behaviours providing us with evidence that they are smarter than what many adults perceive
- Children still require guidance from adults and limitations are set to promote the health, safety and wellbeing of the children
